Well it *was* a secret til you divulged it! Re-edumacation kamp for you, komrade. Sometimes it's the closest ones who need to be turned in to the authorities for their own good.

SS, I've camped with a small group, a medium sized camp and this year a ginormous theme village. It's all good, twisted sick fun. You'll have a blast. Come by the B(O)(O)BY BAR in Terminal Village. We'll do right by you.

Interested bystander wrote:I'm not with a theme camp and if it's your first year I would advise that you be a GDI also. I first went to BM in 1998 and have only missed 3 years since that time. I have never been a part of a theme camp and to be honest I don't think I would enjoy it as I'm a little too independent. I also gave up trying to "see everything" as the growth has made that virtually impossible since about 2000. My advice would be to just plan on camping by yourself or with friends and try to think of something small but interactive to help meet people.

One year we had an art scroll on the street in front of our camp made from a sheet of plywood, dowel rod, and roll of butcher paper along with art supplies (fingerpaints, chalk, etc.). People who passed by could write or draw anything they wanted on it to express themselves. It wasn't fancy but it was fun and allowed us to interact with other participants.

Another year we were going to do a reading room, we had rugs, folding chairs, lots of books, snacks and drinks, et. but the wind tore up our shelters before we could really get set up.

Just use a little imagination and you can find something fun to do. As far as seeing things, I don't try to plan any visits, I just walk or ride around and see what I stumble into. Last year my wife and I probably didn't visit 1% of the theme camps but we got to know our neighbors, volunteered at center camp, and had a great time.

GDI?

i don't really have a desire to be in a theme camp, I'm just curious as to what to expect.

When I was in college, back in the stone age, you had the greeks (TKE, PKA, etc.) and the GDIs which stood for God Damn Independent.

Sorry if I misinterpreted your desire to participate in a theme camp but if I did then I was probably mislead by your original post:

"I'm interesting in knowing a bit more about some Theme Camps, before I run away to spend a week in BRC, and maybe finding thr right one for me."

Does this camp involve showing any titties? If so, Must inform the boyfriend that that is a typo on the map. ;)

But you can enjoy the outside! We will be Hosting the F.U.C.K CANCER board...add what you need or want to it! Theyre are other things a youngin' can enjoy!

Oh, Yay.

I was jsut reading your board, a second ago. I had my first breast cancer scare when I was about sixteen. My Grandma had a Mastectomy, she was sixty or so(I obviously wasn't even sperm or egg yet. ) Maybe, I'll send my boyfriend in with a blindfold.

Blind fold????
If your that worried about him seeing boobies...he better put his blindfold on before you enter the WHOLE EVENT!Better yet, just stitch both your eye's closed, maybe too much for ya both to see!

Louk actually took me to a little hole-in-the-wall bar the first night we met, we've gone a couple times since. I notice that a lot of people my age don't have a problem getting in bars, but have a problem(obviously) getting drinks. In fact, I still have those stupid black X's on my hand from Saturday...-scrubs-

New rule for the B(o)(o)by Bar. Every one who enters the bar must be blindfolded. We don't want to corrupt anyone or offend them. You are gonna have to feel your way around folks.

Hi sunshine! Yes we do card at the Booby Bar. but there is other stuff to do.

I camp with the LAFERS (Lazy Ass Fuckers) and I encourage you to come by and show us your [u][b]lazy ass[/b][/u]. You are welcome to hang out in our shade structure, have a beer and be a lazy ass. You will find that each theme camp is different in their expectations of their campers so just camp independently and ask around the camps. Just checking out the camps will tell you alot as far as how much work is involved to be a part i.e. are the campers working day and night or does everyone pretty much hang out exceot for theme times. I was a virgin last year(and can't wait for this year!) and was fortunate to already know some people that camped with a theme camp, but either way you will have a great time, make lots of new friends - and from one burner to another WELCOME HOME!
